Playing todayLiverpool  vs  Tottenham    21:30 SS3LIVERPOOL:Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish expects controversial striker Luis Suarez to hit the ground running when he returns from suspension against Tottenham on Monday.The Uruguayan, 25, has missed the last eight matches through suspension after being found guilty of racially abusing Manchester United’s French defender Patrice Evra in the 1-1 draw at Anfield in October.Suarez had been Liverpool’s main attacking threat since arriving in a £22.8 million deal from Ajax in January last year.In his absence, the Reds have won through to the League Cup final at Wembley, where they will face Cardiff later this month, and the FA Cup fifth round.But their problems in the Premier League have continued, with just one win in the four matches that Suarez has missed.His return is sure to be a major boost for the Reds and Dalglish claims the striker has been looking sharp in training. "Luis is smashing. He’s good, he’s in and around the place and he’s quite happy,” Dalglish said."We’ll have a look and see how he is in training before we pick a team for Monday.”  Dalglish could also recall captain Steven Gerrard, who was rested for the 3-0 victory at Wolves in midweek.
